Hi HansPeter, I assume that you are running with a recent CYGWIN. Could you try the following: root -b Do you get the prompt? if yes, then you may have a problem with X11. Did you startx ? I assume that you run in a window/xterm under X11. If you have called startx and run in a valid X11 window, check now your PATH. I suggest removing one by one the /cygdrive/c/Program Files from the PATH. Feel free to come to my office if you want to compare your setup with mine.
